Rising Strong™

“Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.” – Confucius Dr. Brené Brown’s pioneering work with The Daring Way™ uncovered a profound truth: Vulnerability – the willingness to show up and be seen with no guarantee of outcome – is the only path to more love, belonging, creativity and joy. But living a brave life is not always easy. The more we practice courage, the more we are likely to stumble and fall. The Rising Strong™ process is about what it takes to get back up and how owning our stories of struggle gives us the power to write a daring new ending. We all go through struggle – asking somebody out that does not want us, expressing our feelings and not being understood, saying something at work that didn’t land very well; the list is endless – failing feels painful and can trigger shame, disappointment and a whole range of emotions and thoughts. Sometimes we avoid pursuing our heart desires because we fear failing. And sometimes when we do, we don’t get back up and we give up. But if we want to break away from the crowd and live wholehearted lives, we have to be courageous and different; doing this inevitable means we will sometimes fall. Rising Strong™ is all about learning to get back up and how to become a highly resilient individual. It’s about bouncing back from failure and recovering from being and/or feeling “exposed”.
